Very cool, I like them! The tank is not my favorite, but seems to be nice. Is the last Pic not a IFV? Looks more like a 20mm or 30mm Gun-Turret, and not like a 120mm-Monster ;)

WTF?!? are you really going to replace ALL your Leos with that thing?!

[Frens]

"Mobile Gun System" is nice and usefull but it can't replace a tank

[FallenAngel]

Tell that to the Canuks. The thinking being you don't need a tank for peacekeeping missions :|

The problem is that the Politician who made that decision wont be in Office any more when the first coffins come back because of his decision.... :|

It might appear like a poor mans challenger - but looks can be decieving. considering the Italians considerable expertise in optics, I would assume that the Ariete has a pretty good FCS and as its got a pretty good gun, it should not be laughed at. What is the Italian experience with Ariete ? It looks a good
tank.

It needs just some more engine power. And additional armour as they have done in Iraq.
Then it's okay.
Thanx, mate! :hug:

[easyand]

the problem is not the tank but the money for it's update!


BTW, effects of Ariete's on a T55 (one round broke in 2 parts the T55's barrel!)

Sometimes common problems are solved by common sollutions :)

[tenda]

well we've used and produced under licence the leo 1...so probably we've decide to use a good system.... :P :P

Effects on the frontside would be more interesting. :)

[easyand]

eh eh I know :D
But the tankers are trained to hit the lower part, where the ammunitions are stored and the armor isn't very strong ;)
